Author:Masindi, Vhahangwele; Gitari, MW; Tutu, H; De Beer, MarindaDate:Oct 2014This study evaluated the feasibility of integrating amorphous magnesite and bentonite clay (composite) as an alternative technology for removing arsenic from industrial effluents. The removal of arsenic from industrial effluents by using ...Read more
Author:Masindi, Vhahangwele; Gitari, MW; Tutu, H; De Beer, MorrisDate:Mar 2016This study assessed the fate of inorganic contaminants post treatment of acid mine drainage by cryptocrystalline magnesite. To accomplish that, neutralization and metal attenuation were evaluated and complemented with simulations using ...Read more
Author:Masindi, Vhahangwele; Gitari, WM; Ngulube, TDate:Sep 2015In the present study, the defluoridation capabilities and adsorption mechanisms of cryptocrystalline magnesite were evaluated. All experiments were done by batch procedure. Conditions assessed include time, dosage, concentration, pH and the ...Read more
Author:Masindi, Vhahangwele; Madzivire, G; Tekere, MDate:Dec 2018In this study, an integration of pre-treated magnesite, lime, and CO2 bubbling (MLC) was used for the treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD). The primary aim was to reclaim clean water and synthesize valuable minerals. This treatment process ...Read more
Author:Masindi, VhahangweleDate:Aug 2017In this study, the possibility of recovering valuable minerals and drinking water from acid mine drainage was explored. Neutralisation of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) and recovery of metals were done at 60 mins of equilibration. DOW water & Process ...Read more
Author:Masindi, Vhahangwele; Gitari, MW; Tutu, H; De Beer, MorrisDate:Mar 2015The removal of boron from industrial effluents using the composite was studied in batch equilibration technique. The effects of equilibration time, adsorbent dosage, concentration and pH on removal of boron were investigated. The experiments ...Read more
